Call of Cthulhu
by Mercurial Theatre
May. 06 - May. 07 (2017)
Deep within the forest, police are moving in darkness upon a curious and demented gathering. A disturbed refugee from this group seeks asylum, asking for answers to the abuse they have suffered at the hands of what’s learned to be a malignant, dangerous cult. Together, the group must confront a terrifying religion that aims to evoke the presence of a cosmic terror, borne of evil and eons older than man himself. Is this just a mad cult, or a pathway to the dark truth of a cold universe?
On the heels of our breakout first year, Mercurial Theatre is excited to announce auditions for select roles in our next production, an original adaptation for the stage of HP Lovecraft’s classic work of horror Call of Cthulhu.
Auditions are open to the public and will be held Saturday, May 6, and Sunday, May 7, 2017 from 7-9 pm, at Space Recording and Rehearsal - Room 12, 7915 Manchaca Rd., Austin, TX 78745
Sides will be provided in advance of the auditions.
Rehearsals will begin May 8 and will be twice a week, Monday, Tuesday or Thursday (actors’ schedules permitting), with all three days being scheduled closer to performance dates. Performance dates are TBD, but tentatively scheduled for six performances over two weekends in late July.
